Hyderabad’s Joao Vitor (45th minute, penalty and 76th minute) and Halicharan Narzary (51st) found the net for Hyderabad. Mumbai City benefitted from Hyderabad defender Chinglensana Singh's 23rd minute own goal before Greg Stewart (68th) and Alberto Noguera (85th) scored a goal each to level the match.
